of well-deiined and positive Opinions.
He who does not believe any thing fol
himself. can not have a fair estimate
of the spirit of those who have opin-
ions and convictions Of their own. Ii
is the man who is strong and clear and
hearty in his personal convictions and
in his personal opinions. who is in a
position to exercise iberality OF view
toward those who are equally positive
with himself in their very different be-
liefs. Yet. as a rule, the men who
pride themselves on their liberal views
are men who have no wcll-defined Opin-
iops, in the field where they claim to
exercise their liberality. Moreover.
they are quite likely to prove their
illiberality BY the sharpness of their
judgments against those who believe
more than they do in that field OF opin-
ion. They mistake their laxity for
liberality; and they confound their hos
,ility to those who have positive Opin-
ions, with desire to have other people
liberal. In fact, the very persons whom
they call bigots, are often more liberal
than themselves. Men who believe
earnestly are more likely to be char
table, in their estimate of unheiievers,
than unbelievers are to be charitable in
their estimate of believers. Liberality
Of opinion is an admirable quality of
mind and character; but a man must
believe something for himself before he
is on plane where he can have or ex-
ercise this admirable quality. The man
who believes nothing in particular is
incapable of being liberal.-S.-S.

SLAMS AND FRAUDS.
Some Unvarnished Truths About ssS0ssl
ETY." at the National Capital.

S-S9A80ho
ETY." ut the National Capital.
Although there is great show and
any amount Of 'social position" and
''rank' in Washington. there is not an
equal amount of wealth to support it in
two-thirds of the eases. The majority
of those who shine in society and are
the most prominent and irrepressible
are dependent on Government salaries,
and it takes close management to make
them suffice for plain living and place
in society. Many of the Senators are
wealthy; but they are the only ones, as
class, who have great wealth; and
the moneyed people, as the rich winter
residents who come only as private cit
liens are called, are easily counted.
Each season Washington runs over
with heiresses, and penniless girls, and
widows who come to Washington as to
a great matrimonial market, and wear
themselves half out in the struggle to
get into and keepin society. Rich meE
never come to hunt for wives in this
modern Smithfield. and when New
York millionaire did take Washing
ten bride it was a pretty girl in strait
ened circumstances. who had never
been known in the society of army and
navy germans and legation balls.
Young army and naval officers
are the most mercinary lot Of
all. and they invariably save up
their leaves of absence to spend them
in Washington during the winter
months. One miscreant in epaulets
once Mortified some married ladies b.
saying: ut pays us poor fellows on
short commons to pass season in
Washington sending bouquets and
spending. all our money on the girls:
for all the rich girls 60 there. and their
fortunes are only equivalents for the
social positio7. tnat we can give them. y
Sometimes these gay spectators get
terribly sold, as not every papa that
passes for a millionaire is really one,
and heiress is name very easily tick
